Speaking Registration
A TVA Board Meeting Notice will be communicated to the public one week before the scheduled board meeting.
The Notice includes a time and location for the public listening session and board meeting. The public listening session will start at the appointed time, to be immediately followed by the board meeting.
Stakeholders interested in making comments must pre-register below or sign in at the meeting before the listening session begins on the day of the board meeting.
Stakeholders who sign up online must also check in with TVA staff prior to the start of the listening session.
Stakeholders who arrive late at the listening session will not be allowed to speak during the listening session.
In instances where multiple stakeholders register to speak on the same topic, TVA may ask the stakeholders to select a spokesperson to speak for the group.
Stakeholders typically have 3 minutes to speak.
A timer is used to indicate to the stakeholder (and to the board and to the audience) when the stakeholder’s allotted time has expired. Speakers who exceed this time limit will be asked to be seated by TVA staff.
The board generally does not respond to stakeholders during the listening session.
TVA will respond to all speakers in writing after the board meeting.
